If you want to provide a compatibility fix for openjdk, that's great, but don't complain if it doesn't work OOTB on openjdk...

OLV officially needs to be run with sun JDK 1.6.0 or above. It will probably work with 1.5.X JDKs too, but I'm unsure about that. I'm unsure if 1.7.X has been tried or not, however I would expect it to work without issue in 1.7.X. Please post if you can provide reports on these uncertain cases.

If you have issues and are not using a fairly recent JDK from sun/oracle, please fix that situation before bothering the developers, or fix OLV, without impact on users of the supported versions, and provide the fix for inclusion.

ITS KNOWN TO HAVE PERFORMANCE AND GRAPHICS ISSUES! SWITCH TO THE ORACLE(SUN) JDK BEFORE REPORTING PROBLEMS!

Also, BTW, someone I was talking to recently mentioned some performance issues on Mac OS X when using Oracle JDK 7, which didn't exist in the Apple version. It was a GUI thing, so presumably the Apple native interface was/is better. Just FYI.

I just added Oracle JDK 6 update 43 to my development box and it works fine too. IE, all three bugs are not present in it.

Yuck:

Product and system data will be collected. If your configurationsupports a browser, the JDK Product Registration form willbe presented. If you do not register, none of this informationwill be saved. You may also register your JDK later byopening the register.html file (located in the JDK installationdirectory) in a browser.

Ari reported to me that Java 7 from Oracle causes machine lock up of some type on full screen. Key board input can not get you out, you're screwed. He also said that performance of animation was poor in Oracle Java 7. He has an Apple Java 6 installed too, much like the one I have on my macbook air, and the same software full screens fine and animates better on that. So, if you're on a Mac, bug reports not accepted unless you're running Apple's JDK/JRE...

Another notch in the belt for OpenJDK: Running some unit tests here, I get a PermGen error with Oracle and perfect smooth performance with OpenJDK. IE, Oracle JDK is completely unusable for this task! :-o

Also, newer OSX versions pull in oracle by default, I think. Unsure if it works OK or not, but seems like it at least mostly does from what I hear.
